In classic Outlook, I really hate the animated lagging cursor when composing. Seems like it can't be disabled any more? (Same with Excel)

Maybe this is to prepare us for slower new Outlook?

Thanks much! It was making me sea-sick.

Didn't know it moved from Office settings to Windows settings! Although now my Start menu animation is lost... I hate these tradeoffs.

I discovered that setting after building a new desktop PC recently. It was disappointing to find the awful keyboard lag introduced by the new OS, as I use MS Office daily.

About start menu animations, I actually prefer the UX without them. I press the Win key and the menu appears, no need to wait.
